Prince Rupert Middle School and School District 52 would like to acknowledge the traditional territory of the Ts’msyen and of all the Sm’algyax speaking people who have been stewards of this land since time immemorial. 

The land is very important to Ts’msyen peoples and is ingrained in language and culture. It is also a connection between ancestors, the present and the future.

As guests of the territory, School District 52 acknowledges the responsibility to learn more about Ts’msyen culture and relationships to the land and will commit to pursuing ongoing learning.
